("Exchange") is greater than $0.07 per Common Share, the Company may provide notice in writing to the holders of the Warrants by issuance of a press release that the expiry date of the Warrants will be accelerated to the 30th day after the date on which the Company issues such press release. The proceeds from the Offering are expected to pay finder fees payable in connection with the closing ($56,000), filing fees and legal fees in connection with the litigation against Aspire Health Science, LLC ($350,000), clinical trial costs accounts payable ($250,000) and general working capital ($44,000).

The Offering will be completed pursuant to certain exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. Subject to acceptance by the Company, the Offering is open to all existing shareholders of the Company in reliance upon the prospectus exemption described in Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 Prospectus Exemptions for Distributions to Existing Security Holders and set forth in the various corresponding blanket orders and rules in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Existing Shareholder Exemption"), subject to the terms and conditions therein. The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless that subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. The Company has fixed June 19, 2020 as the record date for the purpose of determining existing shareholders of the Company who are entitled to participate in the Offering pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption. Subscribers purchasing Units under the Existing Shareholder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that on or before the record date, they became a shareholder of the Company and that they continue to be a shareholder of the Company. In accordance with the requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption and Investment Dealer Exemption, the Company confirms there is no material fact or material change related to the Company which has not been generally disclosed. The Offering may be closed in one or more tranches. There is no minimum subscription amount. The Company may pay finders fees to eligible finders of up to 8% cash and 8% Finder Warrants. Each Finder's Warrant may be exercised to acquire a Unit of the Offering.

LITIGATION UPDATE

Hemostemix's motion for a Replevin Order (Return of Assets) was not heard. Rather a threshold argument ("Service Ex Juris") concerning jurisdiction over the electronic records of Hemostemix that Aspire holds was heard by the Court of Queen's Bench, Alberta. The Court determined that because the computers with the electronic records on them were located in Florida, Hemostemix will have to bring a Replevin Action in Florida.
